Aquatic Center opening with ‘Great Splash’ Saturday

The Moberly Aquatic Center will be opening their 2013 season with a "Splash" tomorrow (Saturday, May 25).

Moberly Parks and Recreations Director Troy Bock told the MMI on Thursday afternoon that the Aquatic Center will hold its "Great Splash" kickoff, starting at 12 noon, on Saturday.

"It will be half-price admission for everyone," Bock said, of the event.

Normal daily admission prices for the 2013 season are as follows:

• $4 for adults (age 19-59)

• $3 for students (now ages zero through 18 years, as opposed to only going up to age 15 in the past) and senior citizens (ages 60-plus).

Adult prices, then, will be $2 on Saturday, while student and senior rates will run $1.50 for the day.

Normal punch pass rates and season passes will not be affected by the Splash; however, for reference, those prices are as follows:

• 10 Punch Pass Adult: $34

• 10 Punch Pass Student/Senior: $25.50

• Individual Adult Season: $134

• Individual Student/Senior Season: $98

• Immediate Family (up to five members) Season: $225.

The hours for the center have changed this year. A regular schedule of 12 noon until 7 p.m., will be enforced every day.

"It gives people more time to get off work, get some supper, and get their kids to the pool," Bock said.

He noted that there will be a few upcoming events at the Aquatic Center, honoring certain two different types of people who serve others.

This Sunday (May 26) will be "Mom's Day at the Pool."

"We weren't open on Mother's Day," Bock said. "But on Sunday, moms will be able to get in free with the purchase of a student admission."

On Saturday, June 29, the center will be having a Military Appreciation Day. On that day, all active and retired military personnel will be granted free access to the pool by showing a form of valid military identification.
